Not exactly. Glass is in fact not solid, but extremly viscose liquid, what is no surprise, as there is no phase change from melted glass.
It is well know fact that 100-200 years old lense telescopes have lost their optical quality because of lense deformations. But I think is hardly noticable on window glass.
Objection due lack of production uniformity makes sense too, but being rather random factor.

| Fence OA height is needed (to give least and most requisite). Fence | 'tie point' height. Goat neck diameter. | Diameter of the field.
As the area of grass to be reached is less than the field diameter yet more than the radius the question is not trivial. The goat is tied to a fence post on the EDGE of a circular field - if the rope is the field diameter it can graze ALL the field. If the rope is the field radius then the goat gets less than half the field. So the rope length is more than the radius and less than the diameter.

|||| I, Bill, must say that it sucks to get old, and it |||| cranks Bill to no end that Bill has become a |||| geriatric old fart... and the thought of waiting |||| for the final curtain horrifies Bill. |||| For Bill to accept that all of Bill's achievements |||| were basically for naught in the final analysis, |||| or even for Bill just to lower Bill's expectations |||| is a deeply depressing affair for Bill....
... ahahaha ... But Bill, there are there are a few ways out, away from your suicidal 1-liner above:
1) The pharma way: Get loaded and kill the pain. Most Geriatrics chose this way. You'll have plenty company. It's also the quickest way to catch a ride on the intergalactic freight train for souls.
2) The way of the Wuss: Become "reborn", like the bible beaters do. Pray and hope for the best. It's an iffy but common choice. But watching the phony, artificial, oily and tormented smile of its practitioners... shows that its propaganda is better then its usefulness and effectiveness...
3) The Macho way: Face the Apocalypse & repeat after Marlon Brando: ||| "It?s a long lonely journey... but now I know why it ||| is called the magnificent horror with its moral terror ||| & its endless darkness. --- Horror has a face and ||| you must make friends with horror. Horror & moral ||| terror are your friends, for if they are not, then they ||| are enemies to be feared. They are truly enemies... ... If you can manage this choice, you've got it made. But very few do have the moral strength to do so.
4) Laugh everything off, knowing but ignoring that the shit will hit the fan anyway and regardless... ...This latter choice is the most elegant way as it provides you with the needed "Gallows' humor". It works great if you develop the mechanism to have easy access to the release of your own endorphins...
I hope you enjoyed my sermon, Bill, and if not thanks for the laughs anyway... ahahahanson
5) Go for Quantum Immortality, or if you're a REAL man Quantum Suicide tied to a lottery win situation
6) Accept the Simulation Argument is extremely likely and prepare to meet the geek in charge of your life
